Back to Back Cy Young Awards for Tim Lincecum!
November 19, 2009
Who gots the weed? I feel like I am coming down...
Isn’t that the grin of a guy who just got high? Especially the small, beady eyes. But, I am not going to hold that against him. With the stress of playing for the Giants and not having good run support can really weigh on your mind.
But, this isn’t about the fact that Lincecum likes the ganja, it is about the fact that he repeated. Puff, puff, pass….
Sorry for the distraction. The repeating thing is the Cy Young Award. If they were willing to give it to his AL counterpart who only won 16 games, then it started to look good for Lincecum, and the results are now in.
NEW YORK — Giants ace Tim Lincecum has won the NL Cy Young Award, becoming the first repeat winner in the major leagues since Randy Johnson was voted the prize four straight times from 1999-2002.
Lincecum led the NL with 261 strikeouts and tied for the league lead with four complete games and two shutouts.
Only 10 points separated the top three in one of the closest ballots in the award’s history.
Lincecum received 11 first-place votes, 12 seconds and nine thirds for 100 points in balloting released Thursday by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter was next with 94 points and teammate Adam Wainwright finished third with 90 despite getting the most first-place votes with 12.

That is a tight looking pipe....
Don’t you have to be high to read the book if you are an adult? I don’t know, but that is one franchise that I have never really gotten behind. It just isn’t for me and that is fine. J.K. Rawling is a genius and all good graces that fall her way are well earned.
Don't let people write on you....EVER.
The Daily Mail is all up in his business…
Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe today ‘categorically’ denied he had smoked a cannabis joint at a party after pictures emerged of him allegedly using the drug.
The 20-year-old actor was pictured on the front page of a tabloid newspaper allegedly smoking a cannabis joint at a party in North London.
But the film star said he had not smoked anything other than tobacco.
A spokeswoman for Radcliffe said: ‘Daniel does smoke the occasional roll-up cigarette, but he was not doing anything more than this.’
‘We are considering our position and will be taking all necessary action in relation to such allegations.’
That is a decent defense for now. The problem is that others might come out of the woodwork to say that they smoked with him, or other potentially plausible, or true stories.
The accusation came as shock to fans and could well have land him in trouble with bosses in charge of the family friendly Harry Potter franchise.
The pictures were taken by Wadia Tazi, a fellow guest at the party, held at a high-rise in Camden.
Memo to self, “Never invite this attention seeking whore to any parties!” Other people should feel free to do the same. Ultimately, this is like the Michael Phelps story, which is to classify this as a non-story. Famous person got hight at a party, is like saying that water is wet.
‘At one point, a girl dragged him away, saying: ‘”come on Daniel, follow me. You don’t trust me, do you?” She pulled him into the toilet and started drawing a huge comedy beard on his face,’ Tazi is reported to have told the newspaper.
The scandal comes just four months after Radcliffe’s co-star Jamie Waylett admitted that he cultivated ten cannabis plants.
The 19-year-old, who plays Hogwarts bully Vincent Crabbe, escaped a spell behind bars and was instead ordered to do 120 hours of unpaid work.
Radcliffe’s role as the schoolboy wizard made him a multi-millionaire and household name at the age of 12.
The price of fame is high. If all he does is smoke some herb, then he is in good shape. Don’t move to the sauce or blow, and you will be okay. Also, this is a warning to watch who you associate with, since they will not have your best interest at heart.
Plus, dude likes that nose candy…
He looks like he could do some big lines...Remember Chris Farley...
So, all and all, it could be worse….
Forget about Raymond, everyone loves marijuana, or MJ, weed, cheeba, etc…
Even teh cops are trying to get it. At least in CA, with the right paperwork, its legal and good for what ails you
Especially actors, or people on TV with very little talent…
But, at least the dude is looking out for others…radaronline.com points out his generosity.
Andy Milonakis looked like he had had the munchies, as he entered Katsuya, a Los Angeles, California restaurant on Tuesday night.
As the 33-year-old MTV star entered, he brandished a bag containing a mysterious green substance, handing some of it to a beggar nearby.
Better yet, let’s just let Milonakis say it himself: “I just gave weed to a homeless man in front of paparazzi,” Andy Tweeted. “What was I thinking?”
ESPN.com tells the story of Tim Lincecum’s love of the weed…
SEATTLE — San Francisco Giants star pitcher Tim Lincecum is facing misdemeanor marijuana charges following a traffic stop in his home state.
Washington State Patrol spokesman Steve Schatzel said Thursday that the 2008 Cy Young Award winner and former star at the University of Washington was pulled over for speeding on Interstate 5 in the town of Hazel Dell, about four miles north of the Oregon border, on Oct. 30.
At least he reps other Bay Area sports teams...plus with the hat, he looks like Shaggy from Scooby Doo
An officer approached Lincecum’s 2006 Mercedes and smelled marijuana as the pitcher rolled down his window. Schatzel said Lincecum immediately complied with a request to hand over the drug and a marijuana pipe from the car’s center console.
The amount measured was 3.3 grams. Schatzel said police consider that a small amount for personal use, well below the maximum of 40 grams before possession is classified differently and carries a more severe penalty.
The incident was first reported by The Columbian in Vancouver, Wash.
“It’s not really out of the ordinary. It happens every day,” Schatzel said of the volume of marijuana Lincecum handed over. “It was about the size of a thumb, the whole thumb.”
Lincecum could face potential fines totaling $622 for the misdemeanor possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia counts plus the citation for driving 74 mph in a 60 mph zone, Schatzel said.
The 25-year-old All-Star starter entered a plea of not guilty through his attorney on Monday, according to records in Clark County District Court. A hearing that had been scheduled for Friday morning was canceled, pending a pretrial conference between Lincecum’s attorney and a county prosecutor on Nov. 23.
Lincecum is currently scheduled to appear before a judge on Dec. 22.
The Giants said they were aware of the situation but did not immediately have a comment.
The native of the Seattle suburb of Bellevue went 15-7 with a 2.48 ERA in 32 starts and 225 1/3 innings in 2009, his third season in the major leagues. He is 40-17 with a 2.90 ERA in his career and could be getting a huge, multimillion-dollar raise from salary arbitration this offseason.
Teammates consider the smallish right-hander a quirky perfectionist. They also consider him the “Franchise,” the nickname they gave him when he broke into the big leagues only a year out of college. Others see his boyish face, shaggy dark hair, diminutive frame — and his dominance — and call him “The Freak.”
San Francisco chose him 10th overall in the 2006 draft out of Washington, and he instantly became the organization’s top pitching prospect since Hall of Famer Juan Marichal signed with the New York Giants as an amateur free agent in 1957.
Just like I felt with Michael Phelps, this is not a story. The story is really more ammunition that we just need to legalize it and quit trying to demonize people who are smoking it.
Now, she can smoke legally and not have to hide behind the haze of the smoke to conceal her identity
This is going to be great news for people who actually smoke marijuana legally. The guidelines will also stop the arrests of suppliers to medical marijuana clubs.
Feds to issue new medical marijuana policyBy DEVLIN BARRETT (AP) – 7 hours ago
WASHINGTON — Federal drug agents won’t pursue pot-smoking patients or their sanctioned suppliers in states that allow medical marijuana, under new legal guidelines to be issued Monday by the Obama administration.
Two Justice Department officials described the new policy to The Associated Press, saying prosecutors will be told it is not a good use of their time to arrest people who use or provide medical marijuana in strict compliance with state law.
The guidelines to be issued by the department do, however, make it clear that agents will go after people whose marijuana distribution goes beyond what is permitted under state law or use medical marijuana as a cover for other crimes, the officials said.
The new policy is a significant departure from the Bush administration, which insisted it would continue to enforce federal anti-pot laws regardless of state codes.
Fourteen states allow some use of marijuana for medical purposes: Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.
California is unique among those for the widespread presence of dispensaries — businesses that sell marijuana and even advertise their services. Colorado also has several dispensaries, and Rhode Island and New Mexico are in the process of licensing providers, according to the Marijuana Policy Project, a group that promotes the decriminalization of marijuana use.
This is great news for people who want to provide relief for others. Think of the possibilities. Now opening up a club doesn’t seem so far fetched.
Drive thru ordering would be nice....
Attorney General Eric Holder said in March that he wanted federal law enforcement officials to pursue those who violate both federal and state law, but it has not been clear how that goal would be put into practice.
A three-page memo spelling out the policy is expected to be sent Monday to federal prosecutors in the 14 states, and also to top officials at the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration.
The memo, the officials said, emphasizes that prosecutors have wide discretion in choosing which cases to pursue, and says it is not a good use of federal manpower to prosecute those who are without a doubt in compliance with state law.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the legal guidance before it is issued.
“This is a major step forward,” said Bruce Mirken, communications director for the Marijuana Policy Project. “This change in policy moves the federal government dramatically toward respecting scientific and practical reality.”
At the same time, the officials said, the government will still prosecute those who use medical marijuana as a cover for other illegal activity. The memo particularly warns that some suspects may hide old-fashioned drug dealing or other crimes behind a medical marijuana business.
In particular, the memo urges prosecutors to pursue marijuana cases which involve violence, the illegal use of firearms, selling pot to minors, money laundering or involvement in other crimes.
And while the policy memo describes a change in priorities away from prosecuting medical marijuana cases, it does not rule out the possibility that the federal government could still prosecute someone whose activities are allowed under state law.
The memo, officials said, is designed to give a sense of prosecutorial priorities to U.S. attorneys in the states that allow medical marijuana. It notes that pot sales in the United States are the largest source of money for violent Mexican drug cartels, but adds that federal law enforcement agencies have limited resources.
Medical marijuana advocates have been anxious to see exactly how the administration would implement candidate Barack Obama’s repeated promises to change the policy in situations in which state laws allow the use of medical marijuana.
Soon after Obama took office, DEA agents raided four dispensaries in Los Angeles, prompting confusion about the government’s plans.

DJ AM takes the long PM, as in dirt nap…R.I.P. Adam G.
August 29, 2009
amazing that they walked away from that
Sometimes you are the boot, and other times your the ass the boot is kicking….
DJ AM might have felt invincible after walking away from a plane crash that killed everyone but he and Travis Barker from Blink 182. But, we are flesh and blood, susceptible to all types of injuries.
Adam Goldstein, ‘DJ AM’
can't run from the grim reaper
Associated Press
NEW YORK – DJ AM, a Philadelphia native and sought-after disc jockey who became a celebrity in his own right with a glamorous lifestyle, was found dead yesterday at his apartment, which had drug paraphernalia in it, a law enforcement official said. There was no evidence of foul play.DJ AM, whose real name was Adam Goldstein, 36, was famous for past relationships with the reality TV star Nicole Richie and the actress-singer Mandy Moore.He died nearly a year after surviving a South Carolina plane crash that killed four people.
In what may have been his last interview, Mr. Goldstein answered questions from Phrequency.com, Philly.com’s music spin-off Web site. The interview was posted Wednesday.
“I am incredibly excited to be involved in the evolution with Dusk at Caesars,” Mr. Goldstein said, referring to the new nightclub at Caesars Atlantic City, where his last appearance was Tuesday.
Mr. Goldstein grew up in Rittenhouse Square and told Phrequency.com that he visited Philadelphia often.
Dusk released a statement last night: “We are devastated by the loss of Adam Goldstein, our dear friend and valued member of the Dusk family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones. He was a true talent who will be greatly missed.”
Celebrities and fans instantly shared their reactions on Twitter, where “RIP DJ AM” was the No. 1 topic yesterday. His Twitter page is http://twitter.com/DJ_AM
Now, I am not going to tell you to run out to his Twitter page, since he is dead, there are no updates. Some are speculating on the drugs that they found. But, why worry about that? He is gone, and it is a cautionary tale for others…as Whitney Houston said,,,,Crack is wack. NBC New York goes into more detail…
DJ AM, the celebrity disc jockey who publicly acknowledged his history of drug addiction and had filmed a reality show in which he offered to help other addicts, was found dead in his SoHo apartment Friday afternoon. He was 36.
DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, was found on his stomach in his bed wearing sweatpants and no shirt. When cops rolled him over, they found a near-empty bag of crack stuck to his chest, a police source told the Daily News today. Police would not confirm to NBCNewYork that the bag of crack was stuck to Goldstein’s body, however.
The New York Medical Examiner’s Office has begun to perform an autopsy on DJ AM, but it’s not known when results will be released, according to TMZ.com. The details of his demise are still unclear, but police sources said investigators are looking into the possibility of a drug overdose, as drug paraphernalia was found nearby.
A crack pipe and multiple bottles of prescription pills, including anti-anxiety drug Xanax, were found in his apartment, law-enforcement sources told the News. Officially, there is no criminaility suspected.
Fighting drug addiction is no shit…people get caught up in that quick….too bad he was like pookie…
It be callin me mann....! That Rock aint nothing to fool around with...
Michael Vick signs with the Philadephia Eagles
August 13, 2009
alright dude, you get your wish....
Well, Erik can finally stop worrying…and get to figuring out how to get his sad sack team into the playoffs in our football league….
look at the top ten plays…
Vick King Of First Down
During the first years of his career (2004-06), Michael Vick rushed the ball better than any other quarterback. He had six 100-yard rushing games and 102 10-plus yard runs, but he was also one of the top rushers amongst all players — especially on first down.
Player Team Yds/carry on 1st down Michael Vick ATL 7.6 Frank Gore SF 5.3 Tiki Barber NYG 5.2 Mewelde Moore MIN 5.0 Joseph Addai IND 4.9 Quarterback Michael Vick has signed a two-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, his agent, Joel Segal, confirmed to ESPN.com.Vick arrived in Philadelphia Tuesday morning and remained there Wednesday evening. The Eagles will hold a news conference on Thursday morning to announce his signing. Vick was the No. 1 draft pick in 2001, and once the highest-paid player in football. But he has not played since 2006 when his career came tumbling down. He was convicted in August 2007 of conspiracy and running a dogfighting operation, sentenced to 23 months in federal prison and suspended indefinitely by the NFL. But after serving his time and being released from home confinement July 20, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell conditionally lifted Vick’s suspension, allowing him to sign with a team. The Eagles travel to meet Vick’s former team, the Atlanta Falcons, in Week 13 on Dec. 6. Chris Mortensen is a senior NFL anlyst. ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio contributed to this report.
We know about the dogfighting, but the guy served his time.
I think that Vick has a full house....
Also, as another option out of the backfield to pair with Westbrook, this move seems great. You can also give him a look as a backup QB to Donovan if anythign were to happen to him this year. He is also a little bit younger than Dovovan, so he might be another stop gap type QB until you find your franchaise guy. Remember, he used to be able to do this….
I secretly (really out loud to anyone who would listen) hoped that the Raiders would be the team to sign him. He could be a mentor to JaMarcus, who I am worried about being a failure, and give us some assurance that if we had to call on the backup, we would be okay.
Hopefully, this is another sign that PETA has no sway…Mr. Vick wanted me to deliver a message to you…
I'm still gonna be RRIICCHH BITCH! Take that PETA....
Excuses to remember: Stress caused me to rob banks
July 29, 2009
As someone who got into a lot of trouble as a youth, I am well versed in the ability to make and create excuses. I wanted to call him a dumb negro, but I can’t. HIS EXCUSE WORKED!
Detroit man who says stress led him to rob banks sentenced
By ED WHITE • ASSOCIATED PRESS • July 28, 2009
A Detroit man who began robbing banks to fix his mother’s plumbing has been sentenced to just two years in prison, a significant break.
U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman says Jimmie Lee Fortune was an “outstanding citizen” before he turned to robbery last year.
The 29-year-old Fortune pleaded guilty in March to stealing nearly $14,000 from five banks in suburban Detroit. Prosecutors agreed not to charge him with three more.
Fortune’s sentencing range was approximately five years to six years in prison. But the guidelines are not mandatory, and the judge settled on two years today.
Fortune says he robbed the first bank to fix his mother’s plumbing and get his driver’s license reinstated. He says he continued robbing banks because he was “stressed.”
The high price of fashion really stresses me out...
Stress causes a lot of things. Some people eat more when they are stressed, or turn to a cigarette. Turning to robbing banks is a new one on me. I understand robbing to get some loot to pay for things. It is even uplifting to see someone stole for their mother. But you robbed eight (8) banks! While we at the blog say Dont do drugs, you should maybe think about smoking some weed to calm your nerves. That will get you a lot less time than 2 years if you get caught.
Leave the bank robbing to the professionals
Flight #9, on Air McNair, is permanently cancelled by his jumpoff, Sahel Kazemi…BTW she is dead too…
July 6, 2009
looks like a mugshot for them...
Messing around with jumpoffs can be bad for your health. Earlier this year, we talked about women you don’t want to date. Part of the reasoning behind this is that people who have jumpoffs are serial cheaters. Now, take that as you will, (I choose not to have jumpoffs, or have them all be jumpoffs and make no commitments) but its a cycle, or pattern of behavior. I am not here to condemn it, just to state the facts…
The ring rarely comes ladies...He is not leaving the wife for you...and if he does, why is he not going to leave you later?
We also warned our readers that Myspace is not the place where you want to pick up people. But, it can be a good place to get information about the person that you are interested in. Remember, social networking can expo…se your business, and employers are looking on these sites more an more.

Michael Phelps is still partying like a rockstar…
May 13, 2009
Rockstars are supposed to let it all hang out. They are what the common man strives for. It’s the reason that I play the lotto when it gets over 100 million. To live the life…
Michael Phelps is doing that…we all remember this picture from last year that should not be a news story…
I am a rock STAR! I am supposed to be able to party harder than you. Plus, think about what massive hits I take, because I have Aquaman lungs! Never let me go first, or you might end up with nothing!
This is one of his jump offs that is letting everyone know that she allowed him to beat it up and that she is freaky…
Real or fake is not important...Threesome is...
DRUGS shame Olympic swimming star Michael Phelps plunged into bed with a pair of strippers – then bragged of getting out of his head on dope.
But lapdancer Theresa White last night revealed how CRY BABY Phelps instantly changed his tune when the News of the World published shocking pictures of him puffing on a marijuana bong as he celebrated his record Beijing gold medal haul.
In an exclusive interview, Theresa told us: “I saw Michael after the photos were published in February and he got really upset. He turned to me and said, ‘I can’t believe that happened. I’m terrified my career will be over.’ He was almost in tears.”
Let me step in to defend Phelps. First, he almost cried, but was man enough to hold it in until he got to the car or she left.
Second, she is a stripper that hit on Phelps! She came looking for the long and strong. So, yes, my man is and should be always worried about his money. I got my mind on my money and my money on my mind… Lose sight of one, is to lose both.
Afterwards she said: “I think the whole thing’s made Michael paranoid. Since the story got out I’ve seen him tell friends that he’ll throw their mobile camera phones in the river if he sees them using them around him.
“I guess he’s scared someone else will snap a picture of him doing something he shouldn’t.”
GOOD FREAKING MOVE! The sextexting and taking pictures that get hacked (Cassie and RiRi) is old news. The only way to protect yourself is to be vigilant. Good to know that he is on his grizzy and is watching his back.
And she confided that he has an Olympic-size stash of secrets he’d rather keep dark, like how he:
- TRIED to buy more cannabis to keep HER happy.
- INDULGES his fantasies with a string of beauties constantly on call for sex.
- CHEWS tobacco and litters his home with foul makeshift spittoons.
- LOVES to bet and yearns to be a professional poker hustler.
- BLUBS at the drop of a hat and is a real mummy’s boy.
Look at it in context. One is okay, because he is trying to make HER HAPPY! so, he is trying to get her some herb and hope that she will continue to be in the mood for freaky threesomes. What is wrong with that?
Two is okay because he is keeping of stable of beauties to call and rotate through. That is again for the best.
Three and five are bad, but, its his house and there is nothing wrong with being a mommas boy…she brought you into this world and can make two that look just like you.
As for four, there is nothign wrong with wanting to play poker
Theresa, just five feet tall and dwarfed by 6ft 4ins Phelps, recalled how they first met at a strip club where she works in his home town of Baltimore, Maryland, on a drunken night out last November-the same month our famous bong pictures were taken.
Boozy Phelps invited the 34D Latina and several of her lapdancing pals back to his £1.1 million waterfront apartment. “Michael came in with a bunch of friends to celebrate,” said Theresa.
“They were there a couple of hours and asked three of us back. Michael was a bad tipper but he was nice to me, although he was kind of mean and cocky to some of the girls.
“He said he liked short girls and I thought that was funny because he’s so tall. At the his place we started playing drinking games. Two hours later I was pretty drunk and I went up to Michael and said, ‘If you were to have a threesome tonight, who would you like it to be with?’ He told me he’d never had one before but said it would be with me and then pointed at another girl.
“Everybody else stayed put while we went upstairs and jumped into bed.
Candy
“The sex lasted for about three hours. Michael should get another Olympic gold for marathon love-making!”
After that first night of passion 23-year-old Phelps often returned to Theresa’s club. She said they met two or three times a week throughout November and December for sex and intimate chats.
And Phelps brazenly boasted to Theresa of his dope-smoking exploits. She said: “He told me he’d done marijuana since he got back from Beijing. And he tried to get some for me one night but couldn’t find any.”
Strangely, Phelps always refused to take Theresa out in public on a proper date-apart from one time he treated her to a “value deal” meal at Mexican fast food chain Taco Bell. “That was it,” she said. “He just bought me some soft tacos. No romantic candlelit dinner. He HAD said he’d take me to The Capital Grille which is one of the city’s swankiest restaurants, but it never happened. And he’s supposed to be a millionaire!
“I never saw his medals either. He doesn’t have a lot of stuff in his house. It’s bare, there’s no food. Just a pantry full of candy and a fridge full of beer.”
Soon Theresa tired of Phelps’ tight-fisted ways-and the fact he wouldn’t publicly acknowledge her as his girlfriend. “He was trying to hide his relationship with me, probably because of my job,” she said. “It didn’t bother me at first but then it started to. He tried to tell me he really liked me but I knew he just wanted sex.
“Then he became hard to get hold of and wouldn’t call back. When I ran into another girl called Jen at a party it turned out he was sleeping with BOTH of us. And I’ve heard that there are at least five or six girls he can call on any time to come over and be with him.
“Michael’s not the all-American boy the public thinks he is. I never saw him smoke marijuana but he was into booze-and chewing tobacco. When he’s been drinking that’s usually when he starts crying. He cries a lot.
“And he chews tobacco like a sailor. It’s disgusting. All over his house are plastic bottles that he spits it into.”
Theresa said she has seen Phelps just a handful of times since Christmas. “During his suspension he wasn’t really in the greatest shape,” she told us.
“He was losing his muscles and got into online poker. He’d just pretty much play that all the time. He gambled a lot for money. One of his goals is to be a poker champ.” On Tuesday the pair were reunited as Phelps celebrated the end of his suspension.
“We’d been texting each other sporadically,” said Theresa. “And Michael said he was alone at a hotel while his house was getting fixed.
“He said, ‘You can come over if you like.’ Then he sent me about 15 messages in 10 minutes asking when I was arriving. He had three friends there, all playing poker online on their laptops.
“When I got to the suite I went to the bathroom and Michael followed me in even though his friends were sitting there just a few feet away.
“He started to kiss me and we had sex. He said he definitely wasn’t doing weed now and hadn’t even been drinking as he was getting back in shape.”
Fun
Despite everything, Theresa is happy to be a sex buddy on call for the athlete, whose product endorsements alone are estimated to pull in more than £3 million a year.
“He’s a person I can just hook up with and it doesn’t bother me,” she said. “But I don’t see a future between us. His mother would never approve.
“What she thinks really matters to him. She’s so strait-laced and they’d both be concerned that someone like me would hurt his career.
“Michael’s definitely a Momma’s boy. He talks about her a lot, and he calls her and texts her a lot. She’s probably the most important person in his life. It’s hard to compete.
“But Michael is a young guy who likes to have fun. He might not be doing marijuana any more but he sure likes to party. That’ll never change.”
So what was wrong with what she said?
We here at Too Old love the music. In fact, if you look on the side of the Blogroll, you can see that we have been repping the Clipse since the beginning of the blog. It’s something about the lyrics that are hilarious and felt authentic, unlike Big Boy Officer Ricky and his fake drug rap.
In this story, art imitates life. With Rick Ross and his drug life, Deeper than Rap, to that I say Deeper than rap my ass. The sad thing is Rick had a little flow to him, but his credibility is shot. When you continually lie, people will develop hate for you. All you had to do is be honest. The issue wasn’t that you had a real job and you “Hustled” as the CO. But, when faced with the truth, he was embarrassed about where he came from, which ended any possibility of being taken seriously.
But, the Clipse had grimy settings and dudes that hung with the crew that you knew were involved in “things”…things that were not legal, but also the reason why they had a lot of money…
Former Clipse manager and nightclub owner Anthony “Geezy” Gonzalez has been charged in U.S. District Court with running a $10 million a year drug ring.
Here is what a million dollars looks like.
According to federal documents, Gonzalez’s 6 year drug empire has allegedly moved 100 pounds of cocaine and over a ton of marijuana through Hampton Roads, Virginia since 2003.
this is about 66 lbs, so imigine about 1/3 more cocaine!
Authorities suspect Gonzalez imported the drugs from Panama Florida, California, and Arizona.
The 82-count indictment states that Gonzalez laundered drug money through several front businesses, including the Clipse’s booking agency Soul Providers Management.
The federal document elaborates that the defendants painted “themselves out as music producers, rappers, entrepreneurs, club owners, clothing designers and other legitimate occupations in order to conceal the true source of their income.”
In addition, Gonzalez is accused of making several kingpin transactions, such as purchasing 10 kilos cocaine for $200,000, and 625 pounds of marijuana for $540,000 in 2007.
Gonzalez’s Encore Lounge nightclub was allegedly purchased in 2007 for $80,000 and 40 pounds of marijuana.
Earlier this year, the Virginia Beach nightclub closed down after a reputed 100-plus incidents of violence and drug transactions in 2008.
Six other co-conspirators were named in the 60-page document, including a police officer who allegedly tipped Gonzalez off about the coming indictment.
To date, Anthony “Geezy” Gonzalez remains at large. At press time, the Clipse could not be reached for comment.
Well, this is good for the new CD. They are in the news, and any news is good, when you are a rapper, especially when you rap about drugs and you are “keeping it real” Peep Pusha and Malice hold it down with Kayne… This story, just like the song, is Kinda Like a Big Deal…
That amount of weight and money will get you major time…
